[Q] Emergency Calls only - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've removed the SIM from my Motorola Defy so my daughter can use it to take pictures, but after I reset it to factory defaults I can't get past screen to make emergency calls.
I tried to hit power for airplane mode to bypass, but that option isn't available. Only option I have is Power Off.

At work i get no signal and after finishing unless i remember to toggle flight mode i will not recive any text or phone calls until i do meaning i miss stuff.

Delay problems

Hi everyone!
After i rooted and flashed a recovery on my note 3 realized that whenever i reboot or shut down and power on my phone after i unlock the sim (via pin) the phone gets at home screen but is like dead, meaning for about a minute or two i cant lock the screen with the power button, the home and settings buttons dont light up when i push them or do any noise or vibration, wifi remains off, power saving remains off until the phone makes a quick vibe after 2 minutes or so. That quick vibe was quicker before the root and recovery, it was instant after i unlocked the sim. Also after that problem i got a calling delay, after i try to call someone now and then i have to wait for a minute or so until the call starts. The screen stays at dial pad but doesnt do anything, i can dial numbers but no key noise no key vibration. I unrooted my phone, flashed the stock rom again etc but the problem remains. If anyone knows what to do please help me out
I've not done anything to the system at all (Root, flash etc, I'm on full stock) and mine does this too. I boot it up, and for a ful 2-3 minutes it simply remains on and I can't do anything to get it to turn off. I can long-press the power key to bring up the menu, but locking the screen is simply not happening at all. Irritating, but alas.
As for the delay in calling, it usually takes a while between the dialing out and the line to actualy establish, that's probably a network issue.

i don't think that its a network problem because it happens only to me and not always. It takes a while normally but in my case it stuck's on the dial pad not between dial and line. It doesn't even turn the screen off if i put it to my ear...
Have you tried to disable the SIM pin?
I never have a pin code on my SIM and never seen this problem.

Screen went greyscale, and I lost most of my settings and access to all my apps

I've had my S7 Edge G935A since release date. I love this phone, never had a problem until yesterday.
So I left work placing my phone in my pocket checked the time after departing since the meeting ran late all looked good on my phone.
walked into my buddy's house wanted to show him a picture, and my entire screen was greyscale, I thought maybe extreme powersave got turned on in my pocket, so I swipe down to access quick settings, and they are all gone, the gear is there. I tap the gear, and settings comes up:
Wifi
Bluetooth
Mobile Networks
More Connection settings
Edge screen
Battery
Help
NO Other settings no way to swipe just access to those settings,
Click my list of apps and only the like the default gapps.
I have not rooted, or done any major things to the phone I did use adb to format the memory card as internal storage.
I searched google and only found options to turn on greyscale, but I had no access to accessibility in settings, no access to power saving mode.
If I restarted my phone it would come up in color then go greyscale.
I took it to AT&T they stared at it for 30 min before recommending a factory reset.
I didn;t want to but I didn't know what else to do.
Has anyone seen this, know what I did, or how to undo it?
It's fixed now I'm just wondering how it happened and how to undo it if I somehow do it again
Lol you just activated ultra power saving mode or emergency mode.

So how do you turn that off without factory wiping it, when it won't give you access settings or apps?
I thought Ultra savings mode too but couldn't turn it off because I didn't have access to settings

Emergency Mode Emergency
mode conserves your device’s remaining power when you are in an emergency situation. Emergency mode saves battery power by:
• Changing the color of the screen to grayscale.
• Restricting application usage to only essential applications and those you select.
• Turning off Mobile data when the screen is off.
• Turning off connectivity features such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ® .
Note: When Emergency mode is turned off, the Location settings may stay the same as they were in Emergency mode. Activate Emergency Mode To activate Emergency mode:
1. Press and hold the Power key to display the Device options window.
2. Tap Emergency mode > Turn on. • When accessing for the first time, read the Terms and conditions. If you accept them, tap the Checkbox, and then tap Agree. Confirm when prompted.
Turn Off Emergency Mode ?
From the Emergency mode Home screen, tap More > Turn off Emergency mode
This is what it was, but somehow I got the Google Now launcher while in emergency mode, so I didn't have the more option to turn it off.
Thanks I knew someone here would know

When you have either of the modes activated, there is a "more" button on the upper right of the screen (the actual screen area, not the notification). Press that and there should be a turn off option.

Screen switch-off during calls, doesn't switch back on when trying to get to dialpad

Hi All,
I've noticed this happen a few times now on my handset (XT1622 - Dual SIM, direct from Moto UK) where during a call, I need to enter a number for a menu option (i.e. Dial '1' for sales, '2' for tech support, etc) bu the screen does not switch back on. This also means I'm not able to end calls. The only remedy appears to be to reboot the device with a long power button press.
Anyone else have similar issues?
Appears to have been a strange bug with the Moto app. I disabled 'flip for do not disturb' and 'pick up to stop ringing' and it stopped permanently blanking the screen. Switched them back on and it's still working :/

Help with screen issue please.

Hope someone can help.
Since the August update the screen on my Mi A1 keeps turning itself on. Only way I can stop it is if I put the phone in aeroplane mode.
It will be sitting on the desk doing nothing and the screen just comes on, no alerts (I don't have app alerts on besides phone and messages), no calls or text. Doesn't even go to the home screen, just the screen lights up and wont turn off until I physically click the power button. If I put it in aeroplane mode it doesn't do it but obviously I can't do that as I then can't receive calls or text.
Anyone got any ideas?
